OPERATION

SETTING UP THE PRODUCT

See Figures 1 - 8. Place the product upside down on a flat level surface. Unlock the leg lock lever. Slide the rear leg towards the back of the product releasing it

from the storage hole. Lift the leg slightly then slide the leg toward the front of the

product. Raise the leg and slide it down into place before locking the leg

lock lever. Unlock the rear foot lock lever. Depress the upper lock button to release the adjustable foot. Tilt the adjustable foot until it is perpendicular to the rear leg and

push down to engage the lower lock button. Lock the foot lock lever. Lift the foot pedal and pull toward the front of the product until

it clicks into place. Lift the right front leg and pull to the front of the product until leg

locks in place. Repeat for left leg.NOTE: When the legs are secure, the lock levers will prevent

them from folding. DO NOT use the product if the legs cannot be secured.

Turn the product over placing it upright on the ground. Recheck that all levers are locked and all legs are secured firmly into place.

CAUTION

To reduce the risk of injury, never attempt to lift the product until each leg has been properly secured in place.

FOLDING AND/OR CARRYING THE PRODUCT

See Figures 8 - 13. Tighten the thumbscrew on the side of the sliding clamp to

secure it in place. Pull the lock / unlock latch up to unlock. Step down on the foot pedal then let the pedal rise completely. Turn the product over and place it upside down on the ground. Slide the right front leg lock toward the centre of the product and

hold in place. Lower the right front leg until it rests on the housing. Repeat this

process to lower the left leg. Place a finger in the foot pedal release and pull up to unlock the

foot pedal. Lower the foot pedal until it rests on the front legs. Unlock the rear foot lock lever. Depress the lower lock button to release the adjustable foot. Tilt the adjustable foot until it is parallel to the rear leg and push

it toward the leg to engage the upper lock button. Lock the foot lock lever. Unlock the leg lock lever. Pull up on the rear leg and fold the leg toward the front of the

product. Once the rear leg is resting on the housing, slide the rear leg

backwards and lower it onto the foot pedal. With the rear leg resting on the foot pedal, slide the rear leg

forward into the leg storage hole. Lock the leg lock lever.

NOTE: When transporting the product, the rear leg becomes the carrying handle.

CLAMPING THE WORKPIECE

See Figure 14 - 15.Always support the workpiece before releasing the foot pedal to prevent the workpiece from falling off the product.

Loosen the thumbscrew on the side of the sliding clamp. Place the lock / unlock latch in the unlock position then push the

sliding clamp to open.NOTE: When clamping long or heavy materials, always provide proper support for the workpiece.

Place the workpiece between the fixed clamp and sliding clamp with it balanced on the product.

Move the sliding clamp until the clamp rests against the workpiece or step repeatedly on the foot pedal to move the sliding clamp against the workpiece. Each full stroke of the foot pedal moves the sliding clamp approximately 13 mm.

Slide the lock / unlock latch down to lock the sliding clamp against the workpiece.

Step on the foot pedal until the workpiece has been secured in place.NOTE: Stand on the foot pedal when extra force is needed. DO NOT jump on the foot pedal as you could damage the product.

UNCLAMPING THE WORKPIECE

See Figure 16.Always support the workpiece BEFORE unclamping it to prevent the workpiece from falling off the product.

Pull the lock / unlock latch up to unlock. Step down on the foot pedal then let the pedal rise releasing the

force on the workpiece.NOTE: If you have clamped the workpiece tightly, added pressure on the foot pedal may be needed to release the workpiece from the clamps.

Push the sliding clamp toward the rear of the product then remove the workpiece.

USING ONE SIDE OF THE CLAMP

See Figure 17.If a large or awkward workpiece can only be clamped on one side of the clamp, it will be necessary to use a spacer. Place a spacer the same thickness as the workpiece on the other side of the clamp from the workpiece to keep clamps from skewing.

CLAMPING WIDE WORKPIECES

See Figure 18 - 19.The product can support wide workpieces. To clamp a wide workpiece between 450 mm to 940 mm, it will be necessary to remove the clamp pads as described in the Maintenance section and place the sliding clamp in the “reverse position”.

Loosen the thumbscrew on the side of the sliding clamp. Pull the lock / unlock latch up to unlock. Push the sliding clamp toward the rear of the product and off

its tracks. Turn the clamp around (180 degrees). Slide the clamp back on the tracks.

NOTE: When clamping long or heavy materials, always provide proper support for the workpiece.

USING AS A PRESS

See Figure 20.With the lock / unlock latch in the unlock position and the rubber clamp pads removed (see Maintenance section), the product can be used as a press by stepping repeatedly on the foot pedal.

OPERATING TIPS

Use the grooves in the clamp pads to securely hold material such as tubing.

The easiest way to hacksaw square tubing is from corner to corner rather than across the flats.

Sharpening a chain saw blade is made easier using two wooden blocks on either side of the bar thus ensuring the chain can be rotated as each tooth is filed.

LUBRICATING THE CLAMP MECHANISM

See Figure 22.If the sliding clamp does not move smoothly, remove it and spray the clamp mechanism with a small amount of general purpose grease.

ADJUSTING THE LOCK LEVERS

See Figure 23 - 24.In the “locked” position, the action of pushing the leg lock lever or foot lock lever down should feel tight and secure. If the levers are loose or too tight, an adjustment may be required.To adjust the leg lock lever:

to loosen.To adjust the foot lock lever:

Fold the product. Unlock the leg lock lever. Slide the rear leg to the back of the product releasing it from the

storage position. Lift the leg slightly then slide the leg toward the front of the

product.
